Solved

Hi.I’ve verified with this post and this post that I’m sending the parameters correctly and that the variables in my runbook are set to Runtime. I’m also doing a POST call but I still get an internal server error with the message "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'".Here’s the body of my call:{    "spec": {          "args": [            {              "name": "email",              "value": "mema@tlke.se"            },            {              "name": "displayName",              "value": "Mom MEmem"            },            {              "name": "userName",              "value": "momemom"            },            {              "name": "accountName",              "value": "MAM, MSM 1"            },            {                "name": "ticketID",                "value": "794"            }          ]        }      }    }  }The runbook has multiple tasks, does that change how I send arguments to it?Thanks.

Hi Team,Does anyone know when AOS 6 LTS version will available? On Prism or support portal.

I just finished both NCP MCA and ECA and got a certificate, when I downloaded the voucher certificate there is no voucher code in it. It says that “your NCP-MCA vocher code is” but I’m not seeing any voucher code same for the voucher certificate for ECA. Need help on this.

How can i get practice questions for Nutanix Certified Associate exam

It seems that when updating AOS Nutanix is creating backups of /home/apache/www/ called PrismUI.tar.gz . Those are then stored in /home/apache/www/console/ . It further seems they tried (but failed) to exclude this console directory. (Don't have the exact tar command line any more but I guess Nutanix can find it) This means that later backups include all previous ones, recursively. I.e. backup #1 is OK. But backup #2 will include #1. Backup #3 will even include #1 and #2 (including another copy of #1). And so on. Which means the file size of subsequent backups grows FAST. For one Cluster the file grew from the usual ~125 MB to over 3GB. This in turn leads to the backup being rejected and recreated constantly. Probably bad for the SSDs.This happened on all Versions I was able to check: ESXi: 5.20.1.1, 5.20.2 AHV: 5.18.1.2 5.19.0.5 6.0.1 6.0.1.6 6.0.1.7 6.0.2Here the most egregious example:$ sudo find / /home/ -xdev -iname PrismUI.tar.gz | xargs -d'\n' ls -lah-rwxr-x---. 1 nutanix apache

I have the same question as in topic (https://next.nutanix.com/calm-application-management-55/passing-variables-to-calm-runbooks-39356)I have created a runbook, configured a variable  under the “Configuration” section of the runbook.I can launch the runbook via API, but it does not pass the value.I tried passing the below sample as the body of the request.What am I missing ?  { "spec": { "args": [ { "name": "VariableName", "value": "value" } ] }} 

Hi all.I’ve been searching all over the Internet, and the Nutanix documentation, to figure out how to pass variables from one task in a runbook to the next. I know that I need to print it to the console in the format “statusMessage = ‘This is the status message’” but so far I’ve tried with Write-Host, Write-Output, and Write without any luck.I’ve also tried using both @@{statusMessage}@@ and @@{Task1.statusMessage}@@ in the next step without any difference.How am I supposed to do this, and why isn’t it properly documented?Thanks.

I have successfully run Collector against our Prism Central which manages about 22 clusters.  It took a long time to run but after it was done, with no error messages, there was no data.  How can I start to troubleshoot this?  I did find this in the logs…. 2021-11-04 13:56:33,288  INFO:  connecting..2021-11-04 13:56:33,304  INFO:  Initializing data collection2021-11-04 13:56:33,304  INFO:  Collecting datacenter data2021-11-04 13:56:33,304  INFO:  Collecting vm data2021-11-04 13:56:41,018  INFO:  'NoneType' object is not subscriptable2021-11-04 14:05:19,187  INFO:  Invalid response while getting clusters2021-11-04 14:05:19,187  INFO:  "{\"Prism Central\":[\"0005a047-ec19-f45f-4962-ac1f6b3bd5cd\",\"00056880-2345-ae87-7622-ac1f6b61a91e\",\"000534cb-9366-4532-0000-00000000c24c\",\"0005883e-3aa8-a7ce-0000-000000028588\",\"0005b846-f7d2-6368-1cd9-3cecef19a428\",\"00058c64-2e36-5f32-0000-000000028204\",\"000538ca-9aa8-9183-2c4c-0cc47ac328b5\",\"0005b8ab-8d4e-03c1-59a3-3cecef19c0c6\",\"0005869

Hi!We have two Nutanix clusters running ESXi v6.7.0 with a Horizon 7 VDI environment on each.  We needed to be able to sync Horizon AppVolumes between the clusters via some common storage.The solution we were set up with was a FreeNAS VM on one cluster publishing an NFS share which was then attached to the hosts in both clusters.  We weren’t bothered about high availability as it’s not an issue if the replication of the appvolumes goes down sometimes as it’s only needed if appvolumes are being changed or their assignments to users is changing.After an NCC upgrade, Prism Element now flags up this external datastore as unsupported.  I’m struggling to find out from Support what the actual magnitude of risk is here to the stability of the clusters (especially when it comes to upgrading firmwares, AOS etc).Does anyone here have any thoughts on this situation please?Thanks for reading!

During VM creation  in nutanix ESXI, if we select the thin provisioning and submit the operation once , it shows thick provisioning if we see the disk settings. what will be the issue ?

Hi guys,I want to run some tests on a local system, so I created two VMs that are isolated from my production network.So, I created a network in the cluster just to be used by these two VMs. This network does not exist in production, only within the cluster.I added the NIC for this network on both VMs. But even so VMs do not communicate, I cannot ping or access via SSH from one VM to another.This type of configuration, just for testing, is not possible with AHV \ AOS?     

We have a UTM with 6 interfaces that go to separate subnets. Each subnet has a ToR Switch. The UTM handles the routing. We are installing a new Nutanix 4 node Block and virtualization physical servers. Assuming that we have 6 physical servers and each server is on a separate subnet, what would our network diagram look like if we included the Nutanix Block? Would we need another switch that has the 6 subnets vlanned, ie: 1 connection from the block and then based on the traffic destination send the traffic out through the vlan port to the ToR switch in the destination subnet?

So i’ve been going through Google searches to find an answer whether Cascade Lake vs Ice Lake can coexist within the same cluster. Unfortunately no luck. So i hope this forum can help me answer this question.My concern is that i was made to understand that Cascade Lake and Ice Lake CPU architecture is different, thus that may pose a performance problems to VM even if the nodes can coexist within the cluster.So the question is, can NX-G7 and NX-G8, which will run on different CPU archtiecture coexist within the same cluster and will it cause any performance issues if this is possible?It would help if you can point me to a KB article or any article for that matter to explain this.Thank you in advance for the help……..

Greetings, I’m unable to schedule exam NCP-MCI 5.15 from the Nutanix university even the PSI, Could you please guide me on how can I take the exam online?

Hello Nutanix community!I have a question about the ability to access the AHV/CVM console from https://demo.nutanix.com/Is the experience limited to the Prism GUI or can we also access the cluster console?Thanks

We have Lenovo HX (3752) installed with 3 nodes pre-bundled with AHV and AOS. The onsite technician configured IPMI (XCC) and we are now able to login to the XCC and also able to access the console (AHV). I wanted to do the following,Change the AHV IP address from the console (commands)? Know the AHV version and its default IPs/current IPs from the console? Connect/ssh to CVM and change the CVM IPs? Create Cluster of 3 nodes

Hello and thank you for the advice, I administer 1 block, 3 node cluster on NX-1065-G4 hardware, power is 110v. Following is the software versions:Version 5.10.10.1 LTS - Pro LicenseNCC Version: 3.9.4.1LCM Version: 2.3.2.3.20029AHV Version: 20170830.396HA reservation is enabled Can you please describe, or link to a KB which will help me understand, how a node failure will cause VM fail-over to another node? For instance, if node 1 fails, how and when with the workload fail-over? What configuration settings do I need to consider to optimize the workflow?  

HelloI would like to use REST API within Prism Central to assign a category to a VM.I dont know how to do thatDo I need to use this API - “Update an existing VM” (put /vms/{uuid})or this API- “Create or Update a category value” (put /categories/{name}/{value})And how can I use it to assign a new category and not remove previous category ?RegardsPascal   

 https://next.nutanix.com/calm-application-management-55/os-patching-automation-with-calm-39677With reference to my previous thread, I have below doubts pertaining to achieving automation of Windows hosts patching over Nutanix AHV infra.Process would be like - Take a snapshot of the server, deploy the updates, test the server services are functioning as expected, if not restore the snapshot.Can it be achieved without using Calm? I mean by only using Ansible/Chef along with WSUS? What will be overall workflow for this? Any other 3rd party tools I will need to use for the same?I am looking for open source and cost effective approach here.Any Help/Direction will be highly appreciated.

Nutanix collector fails to log into Prism central. This is the error I am getting. “Failed to login. Possible reasons could be having insufficient access permissions, missing binaries or failure to execute scripts” Has anyone seen this issue?

Is it possible to add more than one NIC as network client in a single deployment of Nutanix Files?I am performing tests in which Nutanix Files would serve 03 different networks and during Files' deployment it is only possible to add 01 network client. However, this test will serve 02 other networks besides the one already configured.
